1853
A game for engineers who've had enough of the financiers! Set in British Imperial India, it focuses on building railway networks across hills, mountains, and the Himalayas. Players work with five-foot-six and metre gauges, bid for construction contracts, and carry government mails, balancing difficult engineering decisions against the financial manipulation common to 18xx games.
